Ing is ore OF the most pleasant IN Nov.
ubec County; situated on a sandy ridge
the lands slope in every direction. and
there is a fine view OF pasture and
meadow lands, OF stacks OF oats md
waving corn, of vineyard and orchard,
not forgetting Mrs. Ms fine shrubbcrv,
but there is not Il stalk of cotton in
sight. Mr.. NJ. says that fifteen Years
ago he became thoroughly convinced

We soon found our way 10 the barn
yard where about thirty thorough
breds and ten or twelve grades, lust
driven from the pasture, were stand

milk, never spoke more than Il gentle

er tue bossie's name might be. The
large barn is built after the model at

the market. The grades were MIXED
separately and the milk given TO the
calves and essex pigs. of which MIR. NJ,

Mr., NJ. is 4 Arm believer in ensila.e
feed. He has QUE large silo aud isprc-
pairing TO build another, aud to fill
these, has a large field Of corn growing
thick in the row, which will yield an
abundance Of good, rich feed, provid.
ed It rains soon.
lie has all the necessary arrange
ments for extracting the cream from
the milk, chnrning and preparing it in

marked he has paid II good price for

business now. because he knows what
he is doing. lie has studied the bust

seys, paid a good price for them, and
has M established reputation, which
has secured him standing in the Ma
